G-Spot found in France!
I realize that this story has been fairly visible for a few days and many people have already read it. But it was so darned funny I had to share just in case someone missed it and the opportunity to have their clinical depression cured by laughing at sex research.
For Filthy-Minded Philologists
If you enjoy words, especially dirty words, check out The Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (that’s a hypertext version, but you can get plain text and other formats if you google around).
Pick a rude word. I went with vagina (though in fact I had to search for “a woman’s private parts.”)
Now search for all the synononyms in the dictionary.
I got bumbo, Carvel’s Ring, cauliflower, cock alley, commodity, doodle sack, fruitful vine, madge, money, muff, notch, quim, water-mill.
Now you try it.
If you feel like posting your words, you may wish to do so on the main blog instead of LJ so you don’t duplicate someone else’s search. On the other hand, I don’t get such a big volume of comments that it matters much. But there’s a linkback if you wish.
Delaney quote?
I heard that Samuel Delany once proposed a sentence that meant two different things depending on whether it was in a Scifi story or not. The sentence was “He turned on his left side.”
Can anyone give me a citation? Or an indication that this is apocryphal?
TY.
Another reason to read the label.
If you’re paying attention, you might have seen news articles reporting on pthalates, chemicals used to soften plastics used in baby bottles, water bottles, and some food containers. What you might not know is that pthalates are used in some sex toys.
The Toy Store
One of my long-time favorite sites on the web is Adam and Gillian’s Sensual Whips and Toys, a purveyor of the finest bdsm accessories on the planet. You won’t find precious wood paddles here. Such items have their place, but Adam and Gillian are aiming for that price/performance sweet spot. The few items over $200 are priced appropriately for the solid workmanship involved. The paddles, floggers, canes and single-tails they sell are beautiful, but in a functional way.
